🎙🇷🇺🇨🇦 Comment by Russian Ambassador in Canada Oleg Stepanov to Sputnik News Agency (3 February, 2023):
💬 Russia has never imposed illegal unilateral sanctions against any country. I also want to draw attention to the fact that any so-called sanctions, restrictive measures, that are not approved by the UN Security Council are illegal in principle. Everyone knows this very well, but everyone in the West has long forgotten about international law.
We always act based on the principle of reciprocity - symmetrically, asymmetrically, but for every unfriendly action on the part of the current Canadian authorities, which we look at with regret, we will respond. If the unfriendly steps were not taken then there would be no need for a response.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a meeting of the United Russia General Council’s Commission on International Cooperation and Support for Compatriots Abroad (Moscow, February 3, 2023)
💬 It is no secret that the consequences of colonialism and the misguided policy of its modern manifestations are among the main reasons for the deep development inequalities in the world.
There is no statute of limitations for the colonisers’ crimes, which forever deprives the Western elites of the right to moral leadership, especially considering that the coloniser instincts have not gone away.
☝️ Today, the “collective West,” which achieved its prosperity mostly after centuries of plunder and exploitation of developing countries, is trying to preserve its global domination so as to continue to deal with its development problems and to support its economy at the expense of other countries.
Those who refuse to follow Washington’s instructions and act independently are being restrained through unilateral sanctions, blackmail, threats, intimidation and often direct use of force. Those who pledge loyalty are given a free hand.
🇷🇺 Our county had worked for decades to assist the world’s nations in their struggle for liberation from the colonial yoke. oday we are at the forefront of international efforts to uphold the basic principles of the UN Charter, including the fundamental principle of respect for the sovereign equality of states.
it is logical that about three fourths of the world’s countries, which have kept their dignity and independence <...> have not joined the anti-Russia sanctions.
🌐 United Russia has proposed a promising initiative to hold an International forum of supporters of the fight against modern neocolonial practices in Moscow. It was supported by President Vladimir Putin. The Russian Foreign Ministry is ready to contribute in every possible way to the implementation of this initiative.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov’s comment on the 20th anniversary of US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s speech on February 5, 2003 in the UN Security Council accusing Iraq of creating weapons of mass destruction, which became the pretext for the subsequent American invasion
💬 The image of Colin Powell showing a test tube, supposedly containing anthrax powder, has long become widely recognised as a personification of hypocrisy and the US ruling elite’s conviction in their own impunity, their indisputable right to arrogantly teach the rest of the world, using force against a deliberately weak adversary in order to preserve their own global hegemony.
Although, as a decent person, Colin Powell would not hide in the future the fact that he was forced to lie under orders. We even accept that he was tormented by a conscience that is not characteristic of the American political class, especially the leaders of the today’s generation.
In the rapidly changing geopolitical conditions, the United States is now clearly unable to resort to the use of force every time it wants to, without serious consequences. The ignominious flight from Afghanistan outlined the limits of America’s military capabilities, but did not drive away old habits and manners, aggressive and unbridled rhetoric, as evidenced by the American intervention in Ukraine as a party to the conflict.
However, the Americans will still have to change their views, getting rid of the entitlement syndrome, which was so clearly manifested in the scandal with the vial. They will also have to reckon with Russia and China, as well as other major international players that are shaping a more equitable multilateral world order.
☝️ One should not expect that the memory of what happened 20 years ago will be buried in the quicksands of modern history.

❗️US practice of making neutral countries join anti-Russia sanctions (Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Moscow, February 1, 2023)
We hear so much from the collective West that they are acting in “solidarity,” or it is the “shared opinion” or “unanimous.” We have repeatedly suggested that apparently, they do not understand what “solidarity” is. I have a new term for this. I would term what we are now seeing across the European Union and NATO “forced solidarity.” This is an oxymoron of course. Solidarity is something that comes from the soul, from the heart, from one's own analysis. It is about people of different views showing unity on an issue absolutely voluntarily and independently. What we see now is truly “forced solidarity.”
Driven by an obsessive urge to cause the worst possible harm to Russia, the United States is increasingly resorting to threats of secondary sanctions to coerce neutral states into cutting off ties with Russia. They call it “solidarity:” “This country is acting in solidarity with us.” Later it turns out that the country was subjected to a psychological attack that included threats of various methods of pressure such as freezing accounts, or arrests. Not many can endure such inhuman pressure. People, countries, leaders of states can break. And once they do, representatives of the United States announce that it is “solidarity.” They say, these people used to be embarrassed to disclose their support for anti-Russia sentiments, but now they have shown their true attitude, which is solidarity. No, this is not solidarity. This is blackmail and threats, which are used to break people, politicians, and thereby force them to accept a concept alien to them. Not all of our partners have been able to resist such flagrant blackmail.
As a specific example was the December 2022 incident where the Russian ship Ursa Major was denied berth in Bangladesh. The authorities withdrew their previously issued permission to enter the port of Mongla as required by the Americans. The incident delayed the delivery of a batch of equipment for the Rooppur NPP under construction by more than a month, which is hardly in the Bangladeshi side’s best interests.
We believe that US attempts to force third countries to join the anti-Russia sanctions are completely devoid of legitimacy and must be stopped.
